How do dental practices advertise different service lines separately?

Separate personas let each dental service line speak to the right patient. Cosmetic whitening ads can emphasize before-and-after confidence, while pediatric lines focus on gentle visits and flexible scheduling. Each persona gets its own Mobile web and TV mix, so general dentistry never competes with specialty messaging in the same creative set.

Map general dentistry, cosmetic, orthodontics, and pediatric care to distinct personas with tailored headlines, offers, and creative angles.

How should a dental office target patients near its location?

Radius targeting keeps your dental ads in neighborhoods where patients actually drive to your chair. Set one or multiple locations with a mile radius that matches your draw area, and Waverunner maps that footprint to Mobile web and TV inventory. When you open a second office, add another pin instead of rebuilding the whole campaign from scratch.

Multi-location radius controls let group practices and DSO locations run distinct geo footprints from one account.

Why do dental practices run TV spots alongside Mobile web ads?

TV builds trust before someone ever clicks. A short spot that shows your team, office, and chair-side care makes Mobile web, Google, and Meta feel familiar instead of cold. Dental decisions take time, so pairing TV reach with Ads across Mobile web, Google, and Meta keep your practice top of mind while prospects compare options online over several weeks.

Launch-pack TV spots and static Mobile web units ship from the same campaign workflow without a separate production vendor.

How can dental practices track new patient interest without sharing PHI?

Install Waverunner's site tag on your booking and thank-you pages to count form fills and appointment requests as conversions. The tag records page events on your domain only, never patient charts or portal data. You see which ads and personas drove consult requests while keeping clinical records inside your practice management system.

Conversion rules fire on thank-you URLs and booking confirmations, not on secure patient portals.

Illustrative campaign

Example only. Real campaigns are built from your website, personas, and daily budget.

FAQ

Questions dental practices ask before launching

Can my practice run dental ads without a full-time media team?

Yes. Waverunner generates creatives, sets up Mobile web and TV placements, and tracks conversions from your site. You approve the campaign and adjust budget yourself. Agencies can also run client practices under one organization.

Can a dental group run different personas for each location?

Yes. Add multiple business locations, assign personas per service line, and set a radius around each office without duplicating accounts.

What is the minimum daily budget for a dental practice?

Plans start at $10 per day. Competitive markets may need more to gather signal, but you can pause or raise budget anytime from the dashboard.

Does Waverunner handle HIPAA-compliant ad targeting?

Waverunner never uploads patient records for targeting. Prospecting runs on Mobile web and TV using geo and interest signals, while conversions come only from your own site events.

How quickly can a new dental campaign start serving?

After you approve creatives and fund your wallet, distribution typically completes within a business day. TV inventory may take slightly longer to clear.

Can I advertise Invisalign and general dentistry in one campaign?

Use separate personas so orthodontic messaging does not dilute general dentistry ads. Each persona gets its own creative set and budget split.
